Salinity Levels Although ...

Challenge Managing the increasing volumes of produced water associated with oil & gas production as well as sourcing water for operations is becoming more challenging for E&P companies. Handling oily wastewaters with high and variable contents of O&G and TSS requires complex and costly treatment trains with conventional technologies. To evaluate akvoFloat ’s ...

Economic Impact Of Recycling In Texas The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) released its recent study on the economic impact of recycling activities in the state. Approximately 9.2 million tons of MSW designated materials were recycled in Texas in 2015.

Problem At vast depths, the ocean floor consists of layers of decaying plant and animal matter, containing chemicals like sulphate and zinc, which has built up over the years. When operators are drilling, the matter is disturbed and the various chemicals are released into the water. Since the mid 1980’s the pace of exploration, production, and development in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico ...

To avoid the environment pollution and remit the pressure of produced water stored up in water stations at high–water–cut stage, a special technology of enhanced oil recovery (EOR), in which produced water is used for compounding polymer solution, has been formed in Daqing Oilfield. However, the viscosity loss is difficult to be avoided only by modifying the polymer production. Then the effects ...

Taylor Energy, which specializes in energy exploration and production in the Gulf of Mexico, utilized CETCO Oilfield Services new Hi-Flow technology to increase oil and gas production in a field where the existing facility was at capacity with the amount of produced water it could handle. The two phase Hi-Flow process works to treat produced oilfield wastewater by separating/adsorbing the small ...

Our biggest models can dewater huge amount of sludge during summer months. After a successful pilot test has been carried out, AMCON successfully installed one of our biggest models, ES-351 in the Juice factory in France. Although they had been using a belt press until then, they were not satisfied with its performance and they were always looking for an alternative solution for their sludge ...

The Facility The Christina Lake Regional Project is centrally located among the main commercial “it situ” oil sands developments of the Canadian Athabasca oil sands region. The reservoir has been estimated to contain over 6 billion barrels of bitumen in place and approximately 2.8 billion barrels of recoverable resources. The Problem The hot ...

Developments of effective produced water (PW) management strategies pose a challenge to the offshore petroleum industry. In this study three PW minimisation systems: down hole oil–water separation (A1), chemical water shut off (A2) and mechanical water shut–off (A3) were evaluated based on fourteen pre–selected criteria from environment, cost and technical point ...

Every few years, Oil companies will reevaluate new technologies on the market for oily wastewater treatment. Technological improvements have been especially significant in the area of membrane filtration. New Logic Research has developed a proprietary membrane filtration system that is uniquely suited for treatment of Produced Water, Barge and Bilge Water, and Drilling Mud. The use of a ...
